State of Connecticut
Fairfield County ss.
On this sixth day of January A.D. 1824. Before me, the subscriber, a Justice of the Peace for the said County of Fairfield, personally appeared William Edmond of Newton in said Fairfield County, who, on his Oath, declared that he is the same person who formerly belonged to the company commanded by a captain, whose name he thinks was, Elijah Himmann, commanded by Col. Increase Morely in the service of the State of Connecticut under the command of Brigadier General Wooster, and if such service may be so considered, in the service of the United States; that his name, to the best of his knowledge and belief, was placed on the pension roll of the State of Connecticut; that he never received a certificate of that fact from the Secretary of War under his signature & seal to the best of his recollection, but that the certificate hereto annexed signed by Abraham Davenport is the only certificate he has ever received by virtue of which he has from time to time received his pension since the secret thereof, and that he now wishes to obtain a formal certificate under the signature & Seal of the Secretary of War. — And the said William Edmond further on his Oath declares that he rec d three Dollars and thirty three 1/3 third cents per month until as he understood by an Act of Congress, the allowance was increased for soldiers one third of their monthly pay & that from that time until the 4 th of March 1823 he rec d a pension of the United States five Dollars and 33 1/3 cents per Month.

Be it known to all men it doth or may concern that I Joseph Backus Notary Public for the State of Connecticut residing in Bridgeport in said State Do certify that Charles Chap- man before whom the foregoing Affidavit of William Edmond was taken and whose name is subscribed thereto as a Justice of the Peace is in fact a Justice of the Peace for the County of Fairfield and has been such Justice of the Peace for more than one year last past and that full faith & credit ought to be given thereto to all the official acts of the said Charles Chapman as a Jus- tice of the Peace both in court & out of court
In testimony whereof I the said Notary Public have on this 8 th day of January A D 1824 hereunto set my hand and seal of Office at said Bridgeport
Joseph Backus, Notary Public

I do certify that by certificates exhibited to me it appears that William Edmonds Esq r late of Woodlee  now in Litchfield County now of Newtown in Fairfield County was in the month of Apr l AD 1777 a soldier in a Regiment commanded by Col o Increase Moseley in the service of the State, and that said William Edmonds while serving as a soldier as aforesaid on the 19 th April AD 1777 at Ridgefield in said County of Fairfield received a wound in his thigh by a ball from the enemy in consequence of which he has greatly suffered and is unfit for military or garrison duty and is unable in consequence thereof to obtain a support by labor. He is thirty three years of age and ought to receive twenty shillings lawful money per month it being the sum in my opinion corresponding with the degree of his disability compared with that of one wholly disabled dated at Stamford the 4 th day of December AD 1777 I certify for Abraham Davenport.
